Interesting indeed @Peteporker I wonder why he left in the first place, pressure within the Nharu hierarchy? I believe that most of the Nharu subadults are male. Or maybe he took off when the Avoca/Giraffes turned up and fled to the Mbiris. It seems like the Mbiris generally dominate the Nharu as there are four mature lionesses compared to three with the Nharu. It seems a lot of anomalous behavior has been recorded among the lions of Sabi Sands and Manyeleti in the last few years. Or maybe that's the norm and their behavior is just not that well understood.
